* TheScrappy: Godzooky. He gets a lot of hate from the Kaiju community, though in his defense, he's just a baby monster and may mature into something bigger and more likable if the series ever gets rebooted.

* TheScrappy: Godzooky. He gets a lot of hate from the Kaiju community, though in his defense, he's just a baby monster and may mature into something bigger and more likable if the series ever gets rebooted. Plus he's not TheLoad and does help the Calico crew frequently.

** ''Multiple'' times later movies emulated the plots of some episodes, intentional or not. *** Plot: "A shockwave creating monster attacks San Francisco, resulting in a large burrow in the ground and civilians packing onto the Golden Gate Bridge to flee in which they are menaced when a section of the bridge falls during Godzilla's approach. Godzilla then fights his smaller, shockwave using foe across the city resulting in a finale at San Francisco Bay". Episode 2 ''"The Eartheater"'' or ''Film/Godzilla2014''?*** Plot: "An ancient but advanced civilization resurfaces from the sea floor. Our human protagonists are forced onto it as the laser spewing security system comes online. The city's kaiju sized creation goes berserk and menaces both its creators and modern humanity. With the help of the human protagonists and a projected image of the city's ancient leader, the heroic kaiju manages to destroy the creation and the city leaves". Episode 7 ''"The Colossus of Atlantis"'' or ''Film/RebirthOfMothra2''?

** Because of {{NuclearWeaponsTaboo}}, Godzilla's backstory here deviates from the films. He wasn't created by atomic bomb tests in the Pacific, he's essentially a sea monster, [[WeAreAsMayFlies an ancient alpha predator pre-dating mankind]]. This is the exact same backstory used in ''Film/{{Godzilla 2014}}''.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: This show aired during ''the 70s'' and, [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar featuring monsters fighting every episode]], was head-and-shoulders apart from other shows. But there's nothing gory or frightening for younger viewers, in this show at all. To understand the context of this trope, one has to look at and understand, the 1970s era of animation. '''The 70s were god awful''' in terms of quality, story structure, presentation and overall entertainment value. This was the era where WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry became friends, Creator/HannaBarbera was at the mercy of censors, regulations and parenting groups who held way too power and sway over the networks. Violence was NOT allowed. The significance of a Godzilla cartoon that existed during these dark times, and tried to be faithful to the source material, ''cannot be understated''.
